Guangdong ,China [May 24 , 2021] – BrosMed Co., Ltd. has received a 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration for its Artimes™ Pro PTCA balloon catheter.
Artimes™ Pro is a novel PTCA semi-compliant rapid-exchange balloon dilatation catheter manufactured with specific features to facilitate complex coronary interventions. Its soft, laser-welded distal tip—featuring an entry profile of 0.016” for the 1.00 mm and 1.25 mm sizes—favors deep engagement within tight lesions or CTO microchannels, ensuring an smooth, atraumatic entry. Moreover, a novel balloon material ensures a low wrapping profile. The Slider™ hydrophilic coating, a biocompatible and lubricious coating applied from the distal balloon base up to the rapid-exchange port, further improves device trackability across long, tortuous, and calcified lesions. The seamless single-tube transition to the hypotube improves pushability allowing for superior force transmission without any loss during navigation.
These characteristics make the device truly competitive, in terms of penetration power, crossing profile, and pushability, with the best available CTO balloons.
BrosMed Medical is constantly expanding the product portfolio in the field of coronary angioplasty. The Artimes™ (K141025, 1.5-4.0 mm) balloon portfolio has been sold in the United States since 2015 and distributed in more than 50 countries around the world. Artimes™ Pro is a significant new addition to the CTO toolbox for tackling complex lesions in the USA market.
